We seem to have a fair number of political discussions here in our young forum. They will interest only those of us who care about Brazil politics, and Mercosur as well, particularly our vocal Southern neighbors. Gauchos on both sides of the border have things to add. For me anyway, it is a great pleasure to discuss these issues with other people who share my travel perspective and world awareness, whether they agree with me or not.

Thus, this thread. I hope the Moderators will allow us this, because I am certain these discussions would disappear in the larger world context of OMNI.

In another recent thread discussions were beginning about prospects for action sufficient to properly host the World Cup and Olympics. That immediately morphed in my mind to the early discipline and outlook that seems to be being shown by Dilma.

Thus,

We may need to discuss serious prospects of Constitutional reform, desperately needed, and electoral reform too. Those are political issues of great import .
